- ThrowawayR2 6y agoMaybe they did? Quoting from the PDF: > "It is unclear to what extent union labor is a problem outside New York, but within New York it has contributed to rampant overstaffing and wages in the building trades that are well above market rates." Don't shoot the messenger, that's a direct excerpt. [EDIT] For the curious, the full list of reasons is overdesign, poor procurement practices, poor project management, labor, NIMBYism, politicization of projects.
- afavour 6y agoThat hardly makes it an accurate summation of the article, though! If the reading process is "open report, Ctrl-F, union", then I'd say the result has already been decided.
- diob 6y agoIt's the only mention of union, and it has zero references or numbers included.
- beastman82 6y agoIt does have adjectives and nouns, and they are worth considering.

We must adopt public transport and consolidate people into cities. That will make everything neat and tidy and reduce costs and save the climate. Plus, they will be far away from our enormous private estates which we intend to keep in all cases. Also, raise taxes.
